<h2 id="part1">Vocabulary used in this section</h2>
This is the same list of verbs from the <a href="negverb_ex.html#part1">previous practice exercise</a> with a couple additions. We will use mostly the same verbs
from the last exercise to practice conjugating to the past and the past negative tense.
<div class="sumbox">
<span class="summary">Kanji</span>
<br />I have listed the kanji you will need for the vocabulary for your convenience. The link will take you to a diagram of the stroke order.
However, it doesn't clearly show the direction (though you can kind of tell by the animation) so you should check with a kanji dictionary if you're not sure.
I recommend practicing the kanji in the context of real words (such as the ones below).

<h2 id="part2">Practice with Past Verb Conjugations</h2>
We learned how to classify the following verbs in the first <a href="verbs_ex.html#part2">verb practice exercise.</a> Now,
we are going to put that knowledge to use by conjugating the same verbs into the past tense depending on which type of verb it is.
The first answer has been given as an example.
